6ede31e030 x86, msr: msrs_alloc/free for CONFIG_SMP=n
Randy Dunlap reported the following build error:

"When CONFIG_SMP=n, CONFIG_X86_MSR=m:

ERROR: "msrs_free" [drivers/edac/amd64_edac_mod.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "msrs_alloc" [drivers/edac/amd64_edac_mod.ko] undefined!"

This is due to the fact that <arch/x86/lib/msr.c> is conditioned on
CONFIG_SMP and in the UP case we have only the stubs in the header.
Fork off SMP functionality into a new file (msr-smp.c) and build
msrs_{alloc,free} unconditionally.

505422517d x86, msr: Add support for non-contiguous cpumasks
The current rd/wrmsr_on_cpus helpers assume that the supplied
cpumasks are contiguous. However, there are machines out there
like some K8 multinode Opterons which have a non-contiguous core
enumeration on each node (e.g. cores 0,2 on node 0 instead of 0,1), see
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1160268.

This patch fixes out-of-bounds writes (see URL above) by adding per-CPU
msr structs which are used on the respective cores.

Additionally, two helpers, msrs_{alloc,free}, are provided for use by
the callers of the MSR accessors.

0cc0213e73 x86, msr: Have the _safe MSR functions return -EIO, not -EFAULT
For some reason, the _safe MSR functions returned -EFAULT, not -EIO.
However, the only user which cares about the return code as anything
other than a boolean is the MSR driver, which wants -EIO.  Change it

0ca59dd948 tracing/ftrace: don't trace on early stage of a secondary cpu boot, v3
Impact: fix a crash/hard-reboot on certain configs while enabling cpu runtime

On some archs, the boot of a secondary cpu can have an early fragile state.
On x86-64, the pda is not initialized on the first stage of a cpu boot but
it is needed to get the cpu number and the current task pointer. This data
is needed during tracing. As they were dereferenced at this stage, we got a
crash while tracing a cpu being enabled at runtime.

Some other archs like ia64 can have such kind of issue too.

Changes on v2:

We dropped the previous solution of a per-arch called function to guess the
current state of a cpu. That could slow down the tracing.

This patch removes the -pg flag on arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c where
the low level cpu boot functions exist, on start_secondary() and a helper
function used at this stage.

205516c12d x86: convert rdtscll() to use __native_read_tsc
Impact: micro-optimization

Is there any reason why x86 rdtscll have to use the out of line
function instead of inline __native_read_tsc()?  native_read_tsc and
__native_read_tsc is essentially the same functions.

Patch to let x86 rdtscll() to use the inline version of read_tsc.

0d12cdd5f8 sched: improve sched_clock() performance
in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for
20% of the system overhead:

 659567 system_call                              41222.9375
 686796 schedule                                 435.7843
 718382 __switch_to                              665.1685
 823875 switch_mm                                4526.7857
 1883122 native_read_tsc                          55385.9412
 9761990 total                                      2.8468

this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before
and after reading the TSC.

But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().

This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.
